Basic Heer and US Infantry and to a lesser extent, British Infantry wwii airsoft uniforms are fairly easy to acquire.

Overseas repro is quite affordable nowadays. You don't have to spend a fortune to follow the event "dress code".

Minty Post war M1 helmets can be had for $40.

As mentioned previously, special / elite force uniforms don't have to be the norm.

Anything period correct at the ankles or below (e.g. gaiters, boots) seems unnecessary.

Minty Post war M1 helmets can be had for $40. British MKII, III, IV helmets always seem to be available at curio shops, but the liners don't seem to pass the test of time.

Spearhead Militaria ebay store sells affordable P37, P40 and CDN battle dress at an ok price. P37 webbing either surplus, original or repro is still easy to find and won't break the bank.

Camouflage uniforms such as smocks are a bit pricey and not necessary IMHO. Players seem to fancy that stuff possibly because that is the modern idea of what a soldier looks like. Khaki in its many varieties and Field Gray in its many varieties are more than sufficient.


But don't dare show up in Hong Kong Harry Waffen SS M43 HBTs.....that stuff is farb. / jk.
